Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories Reviewed: Through iTunes Clips

When I go to buy a song or a CD, I usually don’t listen to the whole thing. Instead, I just head over to iTunes and check out their 1:30 music clips. Sometimes, this works out OK, other times, it certainly does not–as the 1:30 clip I listened to was fantastic, but the other 3 minutes of the song were garbage (And yes, I am aware that there are better ways to listen to songs on the internet, but I can get kind of stuck in my ways, ya know?) Since I just read the Daft Punk article in…

Whoopsie Doo!

It turns out that even when we don’t try to Jinx the Phillies, we end up Jinxing them. So….maybe we should just stop mentioning them and jinxes altogether? I was glad to see that my Miami Heat prediction turned out to be correct, however, the free throws…not so much. Man, that was a beat down of the highest order. Predictions for tonight?  Gotta go with the Grizzlies and the Pacers. Both home. Both more complete teams. Also, check out this tweet from MettaWorldPeace commenting on last night’s Warriors game: “I think Steve Curry is Top 10 in the NBA….

Not Going to Jinx a Thing

Not at all. I only came on here to make a few predictions: 1.) The Thunder will lose to the Grizzlies in 6. 2.) The Heat will beat the Bulls and they will definitely win tonight (special bonus prediction: Wade/Lebron will combine to take 30 free throws. Wade attempted none in game one and Lebron only attempted 9. You think that will continue? You better believe Stern is going to be in the ears of those refs all night long. No way they can let the chosen one lose in round 2). 3.) The Spurs will beat the Warriors…

It’s About To Be Hittin’ Season Boys

Last night we saw a little resurgence in the Phillies’ lineup. After a dismal 2-run production against the Indians this weekend (in the entire series), the Phillies bounced back and scored 11 runs in the past 2 days which included 2 home runs by the young Domonic Brown. Can I just throw out the nickname, “Little Piece?” Domonic Brown is starting to hit like his spring-training numbers, and I think it’s about time that fans embraced him. We’re getting an inconsistent offense right now, but it shows enormous potential. Certainly more than last year. It’s hard to say how…

TheHeadrush Mock Draft (or at least the first 5 picks)!

Today is the big day. Arguably my favorite ‘sporting’ day of the year. I absolutely love the NFL draft and have been obsessed with it since January. You know why? Cause the team I root for (the Raiders) is terrible, and these are the 3 days of the year when I am filled with hope (well, I guess I am filled with hope on opening day too, but then that hope gets crushed). Anyway, I am only going to try and guess the top 5 picks here, and since I expect there to be a gazillion trades on Thursday,…

Nevermind vs. Ten

Since I am going through a 90’s grunge phase musically, I wanted to compare two of the most famous 90’s albums that helped shape alternative rock, so what better place to start than Pearl Jam’s Ten and Nirvana’s Nevermind? I had never heard Ten in its entirety but I had listened to Nevermind numerous times. I was expecting to listen to two heavy weights exchanging their best punches, neither backing down, and having a hard time declaring a winner. I was expecting wrong. One song into each album, the fight is already decided. Nirvana comes out of the gate…

80’s Movie of the Week: At Close Range

“Sean Penn. Christopher Walken. Like father. Like son. Like hell.” –1980’s narrator guy from the trailer. As I write this article, I am listening to Madonna’s ‘Live to Tell’ which is both embarrassing and totally appropriate at the same time. The reason? The song is played, at least instrumentally, throughout the brilliant 1980’s movie At Close Range (it also plays while the credits roll). For those unfamiliar with At Close Range, here’s all you need to know: it’s a 1980’s crime drama starring Christopher Walken and Sean Penn–playing estranged father and son–based on the true story of the Johnston…
